Product Description

From award-winning filmmakers Annie Sundberg and Ricki Stern (The Devil Came on Horseback and The Trials of Darryl Hunt) comes this provocative and expertly crafted film, The End of America, based on The New York Times best seller by the same name. In a stunning indictment of sweeping policy changes during the Bush years, author Naomi Wolf (The Beauty Myth) makes a chilling case that American democracy is under threat.Investigating parallels between our current situation and the rise of dictators and fascism in once-free societies, Wolf uncovers a number of deeply unsettling similarities-from the use of paramilitary groups and secret prisons to the targeted suspension of the rule of law. With this galvanizing call to arms based on her recent book, she urges regular citizens to take back our legacy of freedom and justice.SPECIAL FEATURES: Extended Interviews: Daniel Ellsberg, of the Pentagon Papers fameVincent Cannistraro, Former CIA Counterterrorism ChiefBrigadier General James P.

I really can't say it better than Stephen Holden did in the New York Times review on this documentary in December 2008. This documentary will stand as one of the important assessments of the past eight years in America's history~and America's fall from grace. With true skill and intelligence the filmmakers create an involving mosaic about the Bush regime while placing it within the context of previous international political regimes who used similar tactics to manipulate history--and peoples' minds. Ms. Wolf is the perfect guide through the complicated historical events that she persuasively proves were a role model for tactics utilized within President Bush's administration.__________________________________From The New York Times, 12/3/08: (partial review, go to [...] for entire review by Mr. Holden)."When Laws and Liberties Test Each Other's Limits"By STEPHEN HOLDENPublished: December 3, 2008"The End of America," an unsettling documentary polemic about the erosion of civil liberties in the wake of 9/11, brings up matters many of us would rather not contemplate in the middle of a financial crisis and on the eve of a new administration. Federal laws enacted during the last seven years that threaten our constitutional rights, it reminds us, remain in effect.The pointedly inflammatory film, adapted from Naomi Wolf's book "The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot," compares the Bush administration's attempts to discourage dissent and to wield increasingly unchecked power to the events preceding the establishment of 20th-century dictatorships in Germany, Italy, Chile and elsewhere. Without explicitly invoking the word, it implies that since 2001 the United States has drifted toward fascism in the name of fighting terror.
